Hutchison Whampoa Group’s Three Italy deployed its new WWW Internet service using Novarra’s Engines for Wireless Data platform.  The service was immediately available to 3 Italia’s current subscribers, on over twenty deployed handsets and later bundled on new phones. Using Novarra’s nWeb platform 5.0 for Java, the WWW service delivers the richness and breadth of the Internet with usability features like Zoom, and innovative two-click access to Web-based email or search and popular Italian sites served up at industry-leading speeds of under 10 seconds.

“We selected Novarra for their product strength and operator experience with such services. Their local support, responsiveness and consistent delivery to our requirements have exceeded expectations.”  Andrea Gualtieri, Director of  Marketing Consumer of 3 Italia.

Three utilizes the Vision™ Server for Web content transformation, content and network optimization, and nWeb Java micro-browsers for client-side rendering and navigation, optimized across 3 Italia’s portfolio of handsets.  The Vision server is managed by Novarra on behalf of Three in Novarra’s European operations centers.

  When leading search engine Yahoo! needed a  
  partner to deliver any desktop website to any
  client on any phone it turned to Novarra. The Yahoo
  oneSearch™ mobile search--accessible via any mobile
  phone in the world--delivers search results from both
  the mobile web and full internet. When the chosen
result is from the full internet (not a mobile site) Novarra's technology transforms
it automatically, and in a format tailored to the specific capabilities of the requesting
phone and browser client. When Yahoo signed specific international operator partners,
Novarra helped by tailoring toolbars and other navigational aids to reinforce those
operators' branding, so correctly branded toolbars are automatically added to each
transformed web page according to the user's operator.
